I found this on FB. If it is not very costly am sure I will buy one of this.

Rotimatic - Automatic roti making appliance. - YouTube
Have you used this. Looks like same technology used to make rotis at the end.
I have a different make of Roti maker which I do not use. It is more chewy and not tasty like handmade . It becomes fluffy too (like poori/puri), can make it real quick. But the softness, taste and feel of original chapati/roti/phulka will be missing !

Some techies on our forum might be interested in this piece of news: A phone that self-destructs if tampered with.
Boeing Co on Wednesday unveiled a smartphone that appears to come straight from a James Bond spy movie. In addition to encrypting calls, any attempt to open the casing of the Boeing Black Smartphone deletes all data and renders the device inoperable.

Boeing's tamper-proof phone is aimed at people working in defence and homeland security who need to keep communication and data secure, according to Boeing and filings with the US Federal Communications Commission . Hardware media encryption and configurable inhibit controls are embedded to protect the device, its data, and the transmission of information, significantly reducing the risk of mission compromise due to data loss, the company said.

Made in the US, the phone runs on Google Inc's Android operating system. The 5.2-by-2 .7-inch (13.2-by-6 .9 cm) handset, slightly larger than an iPhone, uses dual SIM cards to enable it to access multiple cell networks instead of a single network like a normal cellphone. Due to the phone's security features, Boeing is releasing few details about the wireless network operators or manufacturer it is working with, and has not provided a price or date by which the phone might be widely available, but said it has begun offering the phone to potential customers.

Boeing's website says the phone can be configured to connect with biometric sensors or satellites. Other attachments can extend battery life or use solar power. The phone can operate on the WCDMA, GSM and LTE frequency bands and offers Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity . The company has been developing the phone for 36 months, said Boeing spokeswoman Rebecca Yeamans.

Monster Watts unveils Hybrid Solar Battery Case for the iPhone

If you find yourself running low on battery on your iPhone before the day is out, chances are you might want start considering investing in an iPhone battery case. However battery cases deplete as well, which is why a solar battery case would be ideal. Theoretically this would basically allow your phone to remain powered for days. If a solar powered battery case for your iPhone is something you’d be interested in, the folks at Monster Watts have taken the wraps off their new Hybrid Solar Battery Case for the iPhone. The accessory packs a 2,400mAh battery and a solar panel at the back of the case.

According to Monster Watts, the solar panel is highly efficient and comes with an LED status indicator which shows how much battery is left. Despite Monster Watt’s claims of a thin case, we have to admit that the Hybrid Solar Battery Case does appear to be quite thick, but then again that’s pretty much the price you’d have to pay for a larger battery pack. The case can be recharged either via solar power or a standard phone charger via the USB port.

Monster Watts is currently asking for $118 for the Hybrid Solar Battery Case, so for more information about the accessory, pop on over to its website for the details or head on over to Vive Alive’s website to place your order. [Press release]
